' ART or c'nmme GREEN coma;

A Sp ecit1cation of Letters Patent. Patehiged Sept, 13, 1910, Appllcatiomflkd September 8, 1908. Serial No. 51 6376.

Be it known that I, ARTHUR Julian, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements' in the Art of Canning Green Corn, ofwhich the followingiis as ecification.

1 In the canningo corn as ordinarily practiced, the, grain in a green and u'nri e condition is .first' cut or scraped from t e cob, then thoroughly heated, after which it is placed in cans which are hermetically sealed and immersed in boiling water,;and, cooked .for a sufiicient tim to. insu're" k gv qualities. p l p When cob 'in' ajraw conditiomlmuch' of its'liquid constituent containingstarch and sugar is which is left in the, cob, and vwhich if the i lost, as is also considerable'of the juice corn had been allowed to 'fullyfri en, would have assed'into the grain an" increased it'svaueasafood. .t "f

The superiorityof corn cooked onrthe cob over that which isre'moved when green and subsequently cooked, is we'll known, and is considered-to havea'higher food-value; and

the object of the present invention is to retain in canned'green corn as much as is possible of the starch and sugar which are briefly described.

The grain, now' cooked, and in a steaming hot condition, is stripped or cut from the cob and then while still hot placed in cans which are sealed and processed as in the ordinary canningioperation, to insure its keeping qualities- It W111 be understood that corn canned by my improved process contains practically the entlre nutritious constituents of the ear "cannin operation.

I cla m that without increasing the cost of the which consists in. cooking the ears of corn stripping the kernels from the cob and canning them-while they are in a steaming hot'condition, substantially as spe'cified.
